John Dew

The Internet – May 30, 2021 – John Dew of Perth, Scotland, gained the overall award at the Atholl Gathering, normally held at the Duke of Atholl’s estate, but this year organized online, attracting about 75 competitors from around the world across all UK solo piping categories. Competitors submitted pre-recorded videos of their performances, and most of the senior events were decided in final contests of 10 after heats were held to narrow the field.
